Is this the official box art? or is it still being worked on? cuz i really like this one
(also on EBGames.com theres a Special edition of GoW for $69.99, is this true?!)

Dunno, You can read it here... there isnt anything mentioned yet cuz Epic hasnt said anything... well from what i'm aware of

But a faceplate would be killer! cuz i dont want to pay $200 on ebay for the ones they gave out at E3 >.<

**Mike** · 05-19-2006, 09:33 PM

I don't think that's the case, if it is, I was expecting something mre sinister and mysterious, but a faceplate would be awesome

**soda** · 05-19-2006, 10:20 PM

id rather have a swarm of thoses locusts on the front,
that would look cool

Not sure about the guy holding it up?

**soda** · 05-20-2006, 07:41 AM

thats pretty cool,
when i get a 360 i might get that face-plate

**Mike** · 05-20-2006, 08:04 AM

wow, that's a really cool faceplate, i'll definately get it

**KoKoS** · 05-20-2006, 08:57 AM

Hmm I hope I win it when it launches, just like I won the PGR3 faceplate in a lottery at my local game shop

(free lottery @ xb360 launch).

**Dragon** · 05-20-2006, 09:56 AM

They only put out 500 of the gears face plates out so dont think you get one unless want to pay over 100 us on ebay.but in saying that i would pay ex for a face plate to ship with the game that be sweet

**KoKoS** · 05-20-2006, 10:52 AM

PGR3 one was exclusive too :P

**PoweR StriPe** · 05-20-2006, 04:43 PM

That one looks cool. I don't know, man. I'm sure whatever it will be, I will be staring at it the whole ride home just waiting to pop it in my 360.

**KoKoS** · 05-20-2006, 04:47 PM

I wouldn't, because I have to use my bike to go get it and I think I'll fall off looking at the box

.
nyways that looks pretty nice

**Zoso Fan** · 05-20-2006, 06:55 PM

The guy holding it up looks hilarious! SWEET FACEPLATE though. It was crazy on ebay...

**FrenchPoodle** · 05-20-2006, 07:40 PM

Yea, that box looks kinda legit, I preorderd this game back in Nov so I'm excited for it! I hope we get those faceplates, cause I don't want to pay that much on Ebay for it. Especially if we get it for free, that would suck for everyone who bought it now.

**Sebaz** · 05-20-2006, 09:22 PM

the faceplates are a must. i think if you reserved the game you deserve a faceplate. i saw a picture of one and it looks real nice. it's a suggestion I hope they listen.

**electric flesh** · 05-20-2006, 10:31 PM

I was tempted to bid on those Gears of War faceplates on Ebay but $200+ is just a little too much dough for me.

**Sebaz** · 05-20-2006, 10:54 PM

I hope someone from Epic looks at this topic. I mean those faceplates are killer and I think I can't be proven wrong to say that all future GOW users will want one. I just hope they make more and maybe reward their fanbase.

Half of an xbox 360!! LOL

**Hades2000** · 05-21-2006, 01:11 AM

I actually think that the box art is decent. I have no problems with it.

i wouldnt mid one of thoses faceplates,
maybe epic should start up and online shop?

**Zoso Fan** · 05-21-2006, 02:07 AM

A Special Edition game with a Faceplate would be a good deal... Think of the xbox360 "Gears of War" bundles...

I think that if they were going to do that, the special edition would kost like $20 bucks more. But I'd still buy it

**HorTyS** · 05-21-2006, 04:16 AM

the faceplates that are on Ebay were the e3 exclusives, i just hope they make ones that are available to the general public. i've never bought a faceplate, but i think if i ever did, it'd be a Gears one. i always thought devs could use them for a pre-order bonus, thats what i think gears should do, or give it with the collector's edish...

Collector Edition :

I've posted these here, where you can find some other artworks, one wallpaper (final image), and renders.

I have found these on a Microsoft site, reserved fot the press. The packshots are official, but not definitive, so the design can change.

**Dragon** · 05-21-2006, 07:59 AM

Do think the collector edition will come with a faceplate

And that guy holding up the gears face plate has got dang ulg mask on

**soda** · 05-21-2006, 08:05 AM

i wonder what special stuff the GOW special edition one has?

**metalhead** · 05-21-2006, 11:50 AM

When I was watching MTV's "The Race to E3," I noticed an Xbox 360 box in the background when Cliffy B was talking about the game. It said "Gears of War" and looked like Marcus was on the front but I couldn't tell otherwise.

Too tell you the truth i think the Collectors Edition box art looks a bit... bland (sorry). The regular version has a more artistic feel to it

In my opinion, I'd rather have the Collectors Edition box art because the standard just says "game" while the collectors says "hey, whats inside? why don't you put the disc in and find out!".

Either way, CE for me!

**BloodWolf806** · 05-21-2006, 08:29 PM

I'll get the CE.

**electric flesh** · 05-21-2006, 08:43 PM

CE all the way.

That looks KICK ASS.

**Sebaz** · 05-21-2006, 10:29 PM

I like them all. I dont mind as long as I pump some lead on emergance day.

**D3LTA 38** · 05-21-2006, 10:52 PM

If they have a CE then I need to go switch my pre-order quick. *grabs keys*

**chron1caust** · 05-22-2006, 07:24 AM

It would be nice if the Collector's Edition came in a metal case, a la PDZ.
